Colorful Friday

The World Baseball Classic has got me so ready to watch the Sox. I just got to figure how I'm going to do that since I cancelled my cable. I'd pay for a MLB package if they would get with the times and not black everything out. I'm not sure why the MLB is so stubborn to change their policies.

Enough about baseball, at least for a week or so. Today's post is former Wolverine football post. It'll be a quicky as I have some things to do before going to bed as early as I do for work. I have to get up early to get up to Lansing for the card show tomorrow.

The top scan is from my latest Sportlots package and the bottom card is from my LCS. Lots and lots of color. 

These 9 cards give me 24 cards of Chris.

I picked up this at my LCS as well, well technically, I pulled it out of his box of cards in my card room but I still got it from the LCS.

This card of Hurst gives me 21 of Moe.

These also came from that LCS box. The one on the left is #'d to /99 and the one on the right is to /199. These 2 are also rookies. I just realized, every card on this post is a rookie card.

These 2 cards give me 26 cards of Taco.

There is a lot of shinyness on this post

Taco Tuesday

The men's team seems to finally be on track and they picked a good time by beating IU. If only because it gives me bragging rites with the GM of our plant. I think he might be hiding from me though, I haven't seen him all week.

Today's post randomly fell on Tuesday which worked great for the title.

First up, we have the pro version of Taco. Lots of running photos.

A couple of Maize and Blue cards as well to go with the draft day card. Have I mentioned that I hate it when they take the wings off the helmet? Technically, there are other schools that use it (Delaware) so I wouldn't think it would be a trademark thing so why cut it out?

These all came in my previous Sportlots package.

Anyways, off my soap box for today. These 12 cards double my cards of Taco giving me 24 total of him.

Happy Birthday - Taco Charlton

I have 3 cards in Michigan gear (minus a couple you'll see next).

I also have 3 autographs but you've seen 2 of the cards above just without the auto, and even the 3rd as they used the same picture.

On a side note, I learned on Wikipedia while making this post that he's named Taco because his mom is a Taco Bell afficionado. I don't know what that means but I thought it was cool.

Happy Birthday Taco!

*All cards shown above are in my collection but the photos/scans are from TCDB.

Taco Sunday

 Sluggo and I headed to a card show, an actual show that was local for us. Most of them we go to are an hour or so away. It was the first one this guy was setting up and it wasn't great but we've been making some local connections which may be good for our eventual shop. I didn't buy anything and Sluggo only spent $3. Most of the dealers didn't have prices on the cards which is a big nope from us. I hate asking about every card, I'm not going to do it. I'll just keep walking. When we got back to his place though, he had a package in the mail that he bought from a guy back in NC. We had more fun going through that to be honest. You can see the some of the contents here.

For today, I'm hitting up a collection that hasn't been posted about since Christmas Eve, 2019. I didn't realize I had so many PC's that I haven't added to in awhile. I guess that's partly because I have so many of them.

I picked up these 3 on Sportlots, the Certified is #'d to /999. It's always nice to add a serial number when I paid less than $.50 for the card. All 3 of these are from 2017, he was with the Chiefs recently but I believe he just signed with the Steelers to play with a couple other Michigan guys there.

These 3 give me 11 cards of Taco.

Happy Birthday - Jourdan Lewis

Jourdan was born on this day in 1995, making him 26 today.

Happy Birthday Jourdan!

2 cards equals 3 each

I put my January purchases on random and came up with today's post.

I decided that the 1 card Michigan pick-ups, I would show with 2 cards, just to give me some extra days to play with in case I don't get around to posting. Today is one of those posts.

This is a nice shiny card. This Jourdan Lewis is only my 3rd card of his so I definitely need to search out at least a few more.

Again, this 1 card pick up is the 3rd of his collection. This one is better then the shiny one above it because of the Maize and Blue. This card also goes to the Michigan collection.

A Butt Taco

I got a couple more former Wolverines in the mail today. Both from the same set, both from the same seller.

I feel sorry for Jake because I always use his last name in the title of my blog post and it isn't usually in a good way. I only paid $.25/shipped for this and it is my 14th card of Jake.

I also picked up this Taco card but it is only my 7th of his. I did only pay $.24/shipped for it so I was happy to pick up both these cards for under $.50.

This Week on MSO

It’s Sunday, time to recap the pictures that I post on My Sports Obsession Tumblr page.  It is a variety of sports pictures and videos from vintage to current.

Sorry, but this week I have been slacking.  When I did take the time to find photos, I just didn’t really run across a lot of what I like to post.  So today is a condensed version of our usual posts.

Shaquille O’neal at LSU

Blake Griffin

Kareem Abdul-Jabbar

Rod Woodson defends Michael Irvin
